Green waffles – wild garlic & spinach waffles – plus dip & asparagus

Vegan, hearty, green waffles with wild garlic and spinach. An aromatic, bright green suprise on the table. Plus a spicy, creamy, green wild garlic dip and grilled asparagus. This is what green spring cuisine tastes like!

Green waffles with wild garlic dip and grilled asparagus

Everything is green and blooming during the asparagus season. And wild garlic can still be picked fresh. I developed this fresh recipe to match the spring green that is so beautiful all around us right now.

Wonderful, aromatic, green waffles. Fluffy, airy and hearty. With a creamy, green, fresh wild garlic dip that underlines the wild garlic aroma of the waffles. And a few sticks of grilled green asparagus, whose roasted aromas round off the taste of this lovely spring dish.

Green waffles are suitable as a snack, breakfast or hearty meal

Green waffles are very versatile. They are ideal as a healthy breakfast, as an energy-packed snack, but also as a hearty meal with it’s dip and asparagus. They’re a fun way to add more variety to the vegan table and to intoduce more vegetables to your diet. As a delicious waffle treat, this recipe is popular amongst children and adults.

Vegan green waffles with spinach only

If it’s not wild garlic season, you can simply replace the wild garlic with spinach or use frozen wild garlic. Alternatively, you can season the waffles with chives if spinach alone doesn’t taste enough of fresh herbs to you.

Green waffles: vegan, hearty herb waffles in bright green

Green waffles are a creative and healthy twist on classic, savory waffles. The green colour is created by adding fresh spinach and wild garlic.

These waffles are not only a real eye-catcher, but also a great way to add additional nutrients to your meals. Because spinach is rich in iron, vitamins and antioxidants.

Green waffles are a great meal option for children

My green waffles are also a fun way to introduce kids to more vegetables without them noticing it right away. The bright green color of the waffles tickles their curiosity and encourages them to try something new.

Depending on how spicy your children like it, you can easily replace the wild garlic in the recipe with spinach.

Add a savory dip, vegan sausages or grilled vegetables and you have a great, simple, child-friendly meal on the table.

Seasonal spring cuisine with wild herbs and regional produce

As you may have noticed on Daily Vegan, I love farm-to-table cuisine, or forest-to-table cuisine. Harvesting wild and farmed, regional ingredients and processing them directly.
This is not only very climate-friendly, because it hardly requires any transport or long cooling times, it is also very healthy and, above all, incredibly aromatic.

In this recipe I use fresh, self-collected wild garlic. As well as regional spinach and asparagus. And the waffles are made from local organic flour. This way I can make a small, modest contribution to climate protection and feast brilliantly at the same time!
